Speaker 1 (00:00):
How do you do? It's our number three, Hour number three,
And here in hour number three, who's the fall guy
on the Ben Malers Show. Who's the fall guy for
the University of Southern California dumping their long standing rivalry
with Notre Dame. We will discuss that. Tell you who's
to blame. Also, what are the Mets telling the world
(00:23):
with this Jeff McNeil trade to the athletics as they
continue to pick a part that Mets roster? And what
are the odds that Pete Carroll's given the chance to
coach the Raiders while they rebuild. Pete said, I'd love
to do it. I'm sure you would, Pete, I'm sure
you would. We'll talk about that. Also, mallord to the
thirty three time shifted Here we'll have in addition a
(00:45):
radio game show, Malard's Mounting of Money. All that coming
your way later on here in our number three. You
like football, You've heard of the running shoot offense. It's
a little dated these days, the run and shoot offense.
How about the run and hide offense? As a college
football team using the run and hide offense. Welcomeme. In
(01:07):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
We are in the air evrewear brothers in sports talk
as we provide eloquent silence unless we don't coast stuck
coast border to border in beyond on the vast and
(01:28):
immeasurably powerful microphones of FSR ammanating live from the box
deep inside the magic radio box from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio Studios, and this portion of the Ben
Maler Show on Fox made possible in part by our
(01:49):
friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq
has been helping customers like Double Ow Mexican in San
Diego and Milkman Mike in Colorado find the right tires
for what and where they drive ship fast end freeback
by free road hazard protection, which makes Texas Jack very happy.
With convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
(02:14):
dot Com, the way tire buying shure Be. We'll have
Mallard to a third Degree coming up a little bit
later this hour, but our lead from Southern California. There's
some bowl games going on right now, and this just
filler like they had the Idaho Potato Bowl. Very exciting.
Always love the Potato Bowl, look forward to that. The
(02:36):
Blue turf there and Boise and all that. And there's
a few games every day as they try to have
filler on ESPN and the other cable networks that carry
these bowl games. But there's a story in college football
that really got my attention. I really got my attention.
One of the great traditions in college football is ending
with no guarantee that it'll be picked up at some point.
(02:58):
It likely will, but who knows how long, and cause
feelings get involved. So if you have not heard yet,
possibly not USC and Notre Dame will no longer be
playing as seasonal rivals. They did not renew their long
standing rivalry matchup. That means starting next year from twenty
(03:22):
twenty six to at least twenty twenty nine, no matchups.
They will not be playing. Notre Dame's already picked up
BYU on the schedule. So the Catholics versus the Mormons,
you'll get that match up. But it was from what
I've read, it was USC that took the road of
bailing out on the series. They made a bunch of
(03:42):
demands to Notre Dame on what they wanted, and the
fighting Iris said, well, that's good, you want that, but
we're not going to really give you that, and then
sc said, Okay, we're going to walk away, and so
they walked away. They had a tentative agreement that had
been in place sometime in October. Here we are in
December and under the cover of everyone kind of being
(04:03):
away from the watch post and all that. This is
what happened. So the spin from the Trojans their spin.
They look pretty bad in this. It largely came down
to scheduling. They were upset by the rule that gives
a special access to the Fighting Irish, as the people
that have no backbone that run college football made sure,
(04:27):
even though they screwed over the Irish this year, they
made sure that the Fighting Irish will automatically qualify for
the college Football Playoff starting next year, and all they
have to do is rank in the top twelve. That's it.
That's just ranking the top twelve. You're good to go.
So USC felt like that that gave playing the Irish
gave a material advantage to Notre Dame and they were
(04:51):
offended by that. And Notre Dame is an independent, they
don't plan a conference, they're not held by the shackles
of a conference in sc Obviously, playing in the Big
Ten now and so a competitive advantage, a considerable edge
given to Notre Dame and would hurt USC. So essentially
SE wanted to play the game earlier in the year.
(05:14):
That way, they figured they'd probably lose and then they'd
have time to make up for that loss later in
the year. And Notre Dame said, now we're good, we
want to play it where it is. We don't want
to play it early in the year. And so then
SE said, we're walking away, We're out, and they were worried.
They claim out of an abundance of caution. SC was
worried about the college Football Playoff Committee because we love committees,
(05:37):
the selection committee hiring a bunch of clowns, as they
often do. That's my word, not their word, but they're
a higher committee that would have penalized SC for the
late season loss to Notre Dame. In rivalry games and
an early season loss, you don't get penalized as much.
Typically there's less like shrapnel you have to deal with, right,
(06:00):
there's not as much debris on the road and all
of that. So that is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question who's the fall guy who's
the fall guy for sc dumping a rivalry game? It
goes back about one hundred years with notre name. All right,
(06:23):
so my view on this, I've got seven to eleven
toxic waste removal and psychic hotline, and we will combine
all of these things together and we're going to make
white chocolate Macadamian nut cookies with a side of funfetti cookies,
because you can't not have a good day when you
have a fun fetti cookie. Cannot do it. So first
(06:46):
of all, there is no need, no need to tap
dance around this one at all. We don't generally tap
dance because it's not my thing. So just put a
bullseye right where up along. We believe in truth and
broad and based on the available evidence. As I understand
the evidence, the bullseye is pointed right at Lincoln Riley.
(07:09):
It is pointed at Lincoln Riley. That is where it is. Now.
This isn't some mysterious scheduling snaffoo. It is not that
this is sc ducking Notre Dame. And this was what
Lincoln Riley wanted. Remember the conversation started months ago and
it was Lincoln Riley, that little weasel that yeah, little
(07:33):
weasel who was out in front, and he was like,
oh no, we got to move this. We didn't want
to play this game where it's at. And so that's
where we are. And the Trojans now they tell us
that it's about competitive balance and college football playoff arithmetic
and all that stuff. Translation, what type of cat are
(07:53):
the Trojans of USC? That's right, They're a scaredy cat,
that's what they are. Scaredy cat, scaredy cat, the fighting Irish.
They get a golden ticket. They get their own golden
ticket as an independent and se again handcuffed to the
Big ten. And I have heard some rumblings from my
people at both UCLA and SC that they're having second thoughts. Financially,
(08:16):
it's great, been a great windfall, but in terms of
the big picture, it's not looking so great from the
athletics standpoint, the move to the Big ten. But what's
done is done for now. So anyway, SC is tied
to the Big Ten. That's where we are. They're tied
to the Big Ten. And Lincoln Riley doesn't want late
season fingerprints and that's gonna mess up his playoff resume,
(08:40):
and so that's not really a strategy. It's not really
a strategy. It's the run from the smoke. That's the plan.
We're gonna run from USC alumni. And I'm friends with
some of these people. I remember how excited they were
when Lincoln Riley came in. Oh man, they were all horny.
This was great. Oh man, we got our forever coach.
Lincoln Riley, gonna win championships every year, can win the Heisman. Guy, Well,
(09:01):
they have won a Heisman, but the championships not so much.
Not so much. And so they're upset. The alumni, the whales,
and I know a few of these people. They are
not having They're furious with Lincoln Riley and boots on
the ground. Boots on the ground. These people, longtime USC
people who are like, we want to play Notre Dame.
(09:21):
I don't care if it's beying a seven to eleven
on Figueroa at three in the morning. We want to
play Notre Dame every year. We'll take folding we'll take
folding chairs out, We'll use those as goalposts. We'll play
on some concrete in the parking lot, and we'll just
do it. And the Lincoln Riley Men of Troy eh
we're good, man, we're good, and they look like Bozo
(09:44):
the clown the slipping on a banana peals. What they
look like is an unforced error. Now, Lincoln Riley's played
four times against Notre Dame. He's one in three. The
one win came back in twenty twenty two, his first year.
And so Lincoln Riley one in three and instead of
Notre Dame sc next year. You look at their non conrace.
(10:05):
I believe at least next year they've got the Raging
Cajuns of Louisiana. Might not. Probably they don't burn their
tongue playing the Raging Caguns, and they'll add another team.
So you're not exactly replacing the Ribbi, which is Notre Dame,
the most powerful brand in all of college sports. You're
not replacing Notre Dame with another Ribbi. You're replacing them
(10:27):
with a hot dog which has been sitting out at
the gas station for about twelve hours and there's flies
on it, and there's like a cockroach, kind of like
the building here I went, I was walking around, there
was a big giant cockroach the size of my hand
that walked across the hall. I said, boy, I'm at work.
That is my spot right there. That's that where the
(10:47):
cock has Anyway, let ste Gott know about that. Oh
he's not going to work out of this building. I
guess not. We don't have to worry about that. But
we have really big cockroaches. And we have the maskot.
Somebody guy in Ozzie Was I think it was Ozzie
wah Was in Australia sent me as a team in Australia,
their mascot is the cockroaches. So I have a cockroach
hat that was sent to me on the podcast. Anyway,
to wrap this up, to put the ball on this.
(11:08):
So right now, USC's head coach, Lincoln Riley is the
cowardly lion, roaring softly and hoping that nobody notices at
this particular point. Now, secondly, we got a trade. We
got a trade in baseball, not a good one, not
a good one, but a trade. We go to Flushing,
where the New York Mets have said bye bye to
(11:29):
the utility man Jeff McNeil, the squirrel. You can't get
rid of the squirrel. Well he's been traded to the Athletics,
so he's out of baseball. Now he's going to the athletics.
You're no longer in the big leagues. You get paid
like a big leaguer, but you're going to the minor leagues.
And the New York roster implosion continues developing. Hot dot
(11:50):
dot dot. What did the A's get for Jeff McNeil.
They got a but a teenage pitcher. A teenage pitcher
is what they got in return. Bowser's all right, question
what are the Mets? What are the New York Mets
telling the world with this Jeff McNeil trade to the A's.
So it's obvious that the wr continues, the winter reset
(12:15):
continues for the Mets. This is not a baseball trade.
This is a flea market, is what this is. This
is a garage sale. And because in a trade you
get something of value in return, McNeil goes out the
door and in return, you got a happy Meal. Congratulations,
you got a happy Meal toy. And the Mets get
(12:37):
to pay the athletics a lot of money to get
the toy, the happy Meal toy. And it's not really
roster building. They're still in the demo phase the Mets.
It's toxic waste removal. That's what the Mets are doing.
Here now McNeil. At one point he won a silver Slugger.
Eight years in Queens, couple of All Star Games, and
(12:59):
now no Sacramento. You're going to Sacramento. That is not
a demotion, That is a trip to the Witness Protection program.
The message in the bottle as the Athletics are not
really trying to win until they get to Vegas, if
that ever happens. They are building the stadium there in Vegas.
But the message the Mets are sending, and it's coming
(13:20):
from a top the biggest building in Manhattan, and it's
being shouted out to the masses that this is now
officially the Juan Soto era of Mets baseball and Francisco Lindor,
those are the Kings of Queens. Everybody else is replaceable
and it's only friends and family for Juan Soto and
(13:41):
Francisco Lindor, the beloved core of the recent Mets teams expendable.
Bye bye, see you later, shredded like old tax returns.
Pete Alonzo Gonzo to the Baltimore Areas. Brandon Limo disagreed
politically with Francisco Andndor, so he's been sent to the
Great State of Texas. To play for Edin Arlington's Rangers
(14:04):
and Brandon nimo Gon. How about McNeil, We mentioned him
going to the Flex, So all sent all these guys
sent to one version or another of the baseball Who's goal.
The Mets are not turning the page. They're lighting it
on fire. That's what the Mets are doing. The front
office is handcrafting the new clubhouse that is approved by
(14:24):
Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. No founders, no recent CEOs
are allowed, and the Mets are paying almost six million dollars.
Seems like a lot of money to move McNeil, which
tells you that he had zero market value. He is
a light hitting infielder who got a big contract after
(14:45):
one career year. The point is not that McNeil was traded,
so they just gave him away for nothing. And also
the fact that the Mets, it's clear and obvious that
what they're doing here is anyone that was not drinking
the kool aid from Soto is out the door. So
if you send a Brinks truck to Sacramento with the player,
(15:08):
with the player here, that's not a trade, it's a
big dump run. You're going to the dump toxic waste
of the dump. My final fought back to the NFL
quickly to Vegas and whispers whisper, whisper, whisper, a whispers
that Pete Carroll is going to be whacked when the
season ends in a couple weeks by the Raiders. After
just one year now, Pete Carroll was asked about the
(15:29):
possibility of overseeing a rebuild being on the hot seat,
and he said, quote, I really like this place. Pete
Carroll said, I like this team. I love working with Spytech.
That's John Spytech, the GM Tom Brady's bestie. It's just
mapping it out and putting it together and making sure
(15:51):
we bring people in who can really help us. YadA, YadA, YadA,
et cetera. So question, what are the odds that Pete
Carroll has given the chance. It's to coach the Raiders
while they are in a rebuild, all right, So Pete
says he wants to see the rebuild through with the Raiders,
which is kind of like me wanting to see a
(16:12):
Woollie mammoth on a ferris wheel. I'd like to see
a Willie mammoth sitting on a ferris wheel and go
up and down on I don't think that's gonna happen either.
I don't so the Mallard sportsbook gods at plus seventeen
hundred plus seventeen hundred. That implies a five percent chance.
So in the full rebuild things a scam. It's a
weasel term. I don't need to get into that. Now.
(16:34):
That's the psychic hotline flyer on the telephone poll is
what that is. Pete's seventy four years young. Good for Pete.
He's in his seventies. For Pete's sakes. He wasn't hired though,
to plant trees. Pete was not there to plant trees.
Pete was hired to buy fruit already on the shelf.
So buy the fruit on the shelf. That's it. They
drafted a running back in the first round this past year.
(16:58):
That is not trust the process. This is what that is.
That is temptation, island roster building. By the time the
Raiders are good again. That running back Ashton genty, his
knees will qualify for Social Security. So that was a
way to pick. Meanwhile, Tom Brady's upstairs playing fantasy front
office guy. No clue what he's doing. You look at
(17:18):
the teams that change coaches, the ones that got it right,
and Mike Rabel with the pageots, Ben Johnson in Chicago
and Liam Cohne and Jacksonville and all those teams they
hire the right guy and presto abracadabra, instant juice. You
win at this age. And we love Pete Carroll. I
was around him a lot in his se days many
years ago. We were both younger. Pete's older than me.
(17:41):
But anyway, listen, you look around the only thing Pete
Carroll's a lead at and I don't think I'm wrong
on this. He is a Hall of Famer when it
comes to double bubble. This man can go through bubblegum
more impressively than anyone else in the NFL. His ability,
his jaw strength is next level. It is. And the
(18:01):
one thing that saving Pete Carroll is the supply chain issues.
Because there are supply chain issues, not enough coaches, game
musical chairs, There's too many open seats and not enough
seats to fill it. It is the Ben Malor show.
As we press on, we got Mallard to the third degree.
Here we go hit that, but right now, ma, oh
my god, mallow gets how about that to the third degree.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know this is one big Ben gets grill koble loop.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
So the Broncos lost for the first time since September
twenty First, they got your ass kick, Coop, they lost.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
They got their ass kick.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
They lost. And after the game, bo Nicks said that
the l could be a good reset for the team, saying,
you'd rather have it hit you now than in the
first round of the playoffs. Yeah, Ben, does he have
a point.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Well, first of all, it's a great point. The Raiders
have had a lot of recess, The New York Giants
have a lot of recess, the Jets have had a
lot of recess. It really works out well for those teams. Yes, no,
it's not good and there's no guarantee just because you've
lost the game with two weeks in the season that
you're gonna win a bunch of games. That's you know,
that's fool logic, is what that is. It was the
Broncos looked bad. Their defense got sliced up by Trevor
(19:08):
Lawrence and they couldn't do enough on offense to keep
up with Jackson. But it was not a good day.
It doesn't mean that Broncos are not gonna win the
Super Bowl. But theyn't tell me because you had lost
in week sixteen. That's somehow something to brag about. It's not.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Next. During Saturday's game between the Eagles and Commanders, Philly
was up seventeen points with about four minutes to go
in the game and went for a two point conversion
that led to a scuffle between the players, and after
the game, Commanders coach Dan Quinn did not seem too
thrilled by the move. Then do you think it was disrespectful?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Well, I think what was disrepectful is the way the
Commanders have played since Week six. They have one win
since Week six. One win that was against the Giants.
That's it. That's all. They've lost every other game since
Week six. So that's this. No, this stuff's kind of
non played. Better do better. Don't give me that crap.
Come on, it's not Pop Warner Football stopped professionals.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Next, the Saint Louis Cardinals are currently in a full
full tear Dome mode, and on Saturday they traded off
star ketchro Wilson Contreras to the Red Sox. Been how
big of a get is this for Boston?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He's he's a good player. I only he's a great player,
but you're adding another good player. If you're depending on
him to lead you, if you're the Red Sox, you're
gonna be disappointed. I think he's proven he's not that guy.
You're not that guy, pal, But Contrera's in a secondary
role is pretty lethal, actually, and he's a guy that
you don't expect him to lead the way. But if
(20:32):
he's just adding, it's like adding extra candy that you
don't really need the extra candy, which is nice to
have it, and it's it's not a bad thing there.
It is cool. Mallardly third degree, how did we do?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
You almost auto failed that, but uh, but you did
say that it doesn't mean that they're not going to
win the super Bowl. So you've passed this in there.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It is I want again closing out the year in
the win column. Time now for the Mather Riddle of
the day and then we'll have your calls and Mallard's
mount of money. But here's the Malor riddle of today.
Marquez Valdez Scantling. It's a wide receiver with three names.
Either a serial killer or a wide receiver have free names.
So Marquez Valdez Scantling credits Aaron Rodgers blank for him
(21:17):
being nicer with his Steeler teammates than he was back
in his Green Bay days against Marquez Valdez. Scantling, who
knows a thing or two about Aaron Rodgers, credits Rogers
blank for him being nicer with his Steeler teammates than
he was back in his Green Bay days. That is
the riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get to it.
(21:38):
We will do it next.

three names. He credits Aaron Rogers blank for him being
(24:20):
nicer with his Steeler teammates than he was back in
his green day days. That is the malor riddle of
the day. What is the answer?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Let's he?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Does anyone know the answer? Key says. He credits Rogers
admission that des caught it from Ocho text, though credits

Who doesn't like boobies? Come on, that's a fun word
all right? But what else do we have? Ferd Dog says,

Aaron Rodgers blank for him being nicer with Steeler teammates
than he was in Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Yeah, I think he's crediting his hemorrhoids.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That's a great answer. Is it hemorrhoids?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
His wife, his fake wife. So I was texting a
friend of mine who works in the let's just say
the tabloid world of sports media. I've known this person
for a long time. I was like, so, what's going
on with Rogers? You know, the wife and all that. Well,
I said, We've had people bunkered out of his home
(26:46):
in Malibu and out of his place in Pittsburgh. Haven't
seen any woman. So they're tried. They're trying to get
photos of this woman. So either she's maybe she's big,
she might be imprisoned though, maybe she's in prison, whether
they're obviously not living together, or she just doesn't leave
the house, maybe she's a hermit. But they've been trying
to get a photo because that plays well online. They're
trying to get a photo of this woman.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
She's a blow up doll.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Well, okay, let's ask collaring James about that. James, do
you think Aaron Rodgers' wife is a blow up doll?
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Hollering James, she is a mannaquin, a mannequin.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Okay, you're awake.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I'm impressed that you're awake. James.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
I'm awake because for your show, because you're the only
